New Poll - Spending on Anime/Manga

The initial idea for this poll comes from Karonhioktha, but the question itself and the choices are all my own. To keep things more or less consistent, plus enter the total in US dollars. Estimate and convert if you have to. Please be honest. You can interpret the question as "goods" referring to any sort of merchandise related to anime/manga.

The vast majority prefers the adaptation to be more or less exactly the same as the original. Now I wonder that if you liked the series on one medium, would you want to watch/read the same series on another medium even though it was the same content?

I spend around 100-500 each year. I don't really buy throughout the year, but at Christmas, I have a big spending spree, since I usually get money. It's also a bit cheaper, since I buy the japanese volumes rather than the english ones…

I'm still a student so I can't spend a lot of money but when I start making money, I'll buy a lot of manga-related stuff. Mostly will be on wallpapers because I love them. Since I read a lot of historical / fantasy / adventure, the wallpapers are amazing. Then I'll scan them and make a fan site.

i do not see my hobby in manga/animu has anything to do with my professional, academic, or even social life. so, i spent accordingly. not more than a hundred. for you good sirs and mams, if your hobby broaden your social life and your life is improved by it, i think its fine to spent more.
